What a wonderful club, run superbly by Steve. I feel like a kid in a sweet shop.Lots of friendly people, playing at all levels & always someone known or new to play against , with a superbly run league set up.A very progressive & successful Club, about to move in to new & more modern premises.Long may it continue.

Real, honest club, run informally yet efficiently, filling the big sports hall with 15-20 tables with players from young to old. Can play matches and leagues or practice or lark about. Long may they continue.
